I don't see the point behind using C++ and the .NET framework, either stick with C# and .NET or use C++ code that compiles no matter what the compiler is as long as the libraries used are available for the compiler.

It's not about using the .NET Framework. Fact is, I don't want to use the .NET Framework. As I said previously, I'm just looking to use VS.NET. I'm going to be doing assignments in multiple languages (C# and C++ at least, maybe Java).
